Text Quotes
In front of the model I work with the same will to reproduce truth as if I were making a portrait. I do not correct nature, I incorporate myself into it; it directs me. I can only work with a model. The sight of human forms nourishes and comforts me (Portrait Quotes)
Listen: if I am a painter and I do your portrait, have I or haven’t I the right to paint you as I want? (Portrait Quotes)
That moment when the person actually dictates the way I do the portrait is when the intimacy arrives (Portrait Quotes)
I never paint a portrait from a photograph, because a photograph doesn’t give enough information about what the person feels (Portrait Quotes)
Some sitters don’t engage with the process of having their portrait painted at all. They’ll think it’s a good opportunity to catch up with all their phone calls (Portrait Quotes)
Paint records the most delicate gesture and the most tense. It tells whether the painter sat or stood or crouched in front of the canvas. Paint is a cast made of the painter’s movements, a portrait of the painter’s body and thoughts (Portrait Quotes)
The danger, I find, is that you can become too formulaic, like some commissioned portrait painters who develop a methodology (Portrait Quotes)
When I paint a portrait I want to know more than just the looks of the person. I want to know how they live and what their feelings are... It then becomes more than just physiognomy, but the feel of the person (Portrait Quotes)
I’m an odd portrait painter in that I’m not just interested in human faces. I consider almost all of my paintings to be portraits (Portrait Quotes)
Satan was a blunderer... who made a stupendous failure. If he had succeeded, we should all have been worshipping him, and his portrait would have been more flattering (Portrait Quotes)
A vivid portrait of a teenage girl and her family in disarray. Meredith is a wonderful narrator, witty, feisty, full of yearning, and the story she tells is as complicated as life itself. This is a richly satisfying novel (Portrait Quotes)
The important thing is for the characters to feel real, and to be given the humanity they are due. That granting of humanity is what separates a full portrait from a stereotype (Portrait Quotes)
The artist who imagines that he puts his best into a portrait in order to produce something good, which will be a pleasure to the sitter and to himself, will have some bitter experiences (Portrait Quotes)
Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait (Portrait Quotes)
You wouldn’t take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you’d move in close (Portrait Quotes)
I kept wanting to push my image as validity; I wanted to see my portrait on a wall and know it was okay (Portrait Quotes)
Western artists stand as humans looking at nature; Asian artists try to be in nature. You become one with nature rather than painting a portrait of it. That’s a big shift (Portrait Quotes)
Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself (Portrait Quotes)
When you start with a portrait and search for a pure form, a clear volume, through successive eliminations, you arrive inevitably at the egg. Likewise, starting with the egg and following the same process in reverse, one finishes with the portrait (Portrait Quotes)
Life is a series of family photos in which you keep moving to the rear until finally you’re a portrait in the background (Portrait Quotes)
A house is very much like a portrait. I cannot disconnect houses from people. The thought of arrangement, the curves and straight lines. It gives an indication of the character at the heart of it (Portrait Quotes)
Your handwriting. the way you walk. which china pattern you choose. it’s all giving you away. everything you do shows your hand. everything is a self portrait. everything is a diary (Portrait Quotes)
When you leave them in the morning, they stick their nose in the door crack and stand there like a portrait until you turn the key eight hours later (Portrait Quotes)
The longing of my heart is a fairy portrait of myself: I want to be pretty; I want to eliminate facts and fill up the gap with charms (Portrait Quotes)
When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg (Portrait Quotes)
The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model (Portrait Quotes)
The earth paints a portrait of the sun at dawn with sunflowers in bloom. Unhappy with the portrait, she erases it and paints it again and again (Portrait Quotes)
What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait (Portrait Quotes)
What better portrait of a writer than to show a man who has been bewitched by books? (Portrait Quotes)
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself (Portrait Quotes)
